URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
FOR THE
BOISE CENTRAL DISTRICT
THE BOISE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
INTRODUCTION
This is the Urban Renewal Plan (the "Plan") for the Boise
Central District Redevelopment Project (the "Project") in the
City of Boise (the "City"), County of Ada, State of Idaho, and
consists of the Text, the Description of the Project Area
Boundaries (Attachment No. 1), the Project Area and Land Use Map
(Attachment No. 2), the Description of the Properties Within the
Revenue Allocation Area (Attachment No. 3), the Revenue
Allocation Map (Attachment No. 4), the Statement of Objectives,
Costs, and Tax Impact (Attachment No. 5), Exhibit A Boise City
Council Resolution No. 7995, a resolution designating a certain
described area of Boise City as a Downtown Improvement Area, and
the Appendix.
The Appendix contains several planning documents which
generally describe the overall Project and identify certain
specific public and private capital improvement projects.
Because of the changing nature of the Project, these documents,
by necessity, must be dynamic and flexible. The Agency
anticipates that these documents will be modified as circum-stances
warrant. Any modification, however, shall not be deemed
as an amendment of this Plan. No modification will be deemed
effective if it is in conflict with this Plan. The planning
documents are generally illustrative, do not constitute specific
portions of the Plan, and are not deemed part of the Plan.
In the event of any conflict between this Plan and the appended
documents, the provisions of this Plan shall control.
The planning documents are identified as follows:
Document 1
Volume 1, Boise Downtown Urban Design Plan, Framework
Master Plan and Design Guidelines, adopted April 1,
1986;
Document 2
Volume 2, Boise Downtown Urban Design Plan, Public
Capital Improvements Projects, accepted April 1, 1986;
Document 3
Boise Downtown Redevelopment Project Parking Plan,
accepted October 1986;
- 1 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
Document 4
Boise Downtown Urban Design Plan, Design Manual for
Surface Improvement Projects, accepted October 1986; and
Document 5
Boise Downtown Development Strategy, accepted
February 1987.
This Plan was prepared by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Boise (the "Agency") pursuant to the State of Idaho (Idaho Urban
Renewal Law, ch. 20, title 50, Idaho Code), the Idaho Constitu-tion,
and all applicable local laws and ordinances.
The proposed redevelopment of the Project Area as described
in this Plan conforms to A Polic~ Plan for the Boise Metropolitan
Area (the Metro Plan) of Boise a opted by the City Council on
October 16, 1978 (Ordinance No. 4298), as amended.
This Plan provides the Agency with powers, duties, and obli-gations
to implement and further the program generally formulated
in this Plan for the redevelopment, rehabilitation, and revitali-zation
of the area within the boundaries of the Project (the
•project Area"). Because of the long-term nature of this Plan,
and the need to retain in the Agency flexibility to respond to
aarket and economic conditions, property owner and developer
interests and opportunities from time to time presented for
redevelopment, this Plan does not present a precise plan or
Establish specific projects for the redevelopment, rehabili-
Tation, and revitalization of any area within the Project Area,
nor does this Plan present specific proposals in an attempt to
solve or alleviate the concerns and problems of the community
relating to the Project Area. Instead, this Plan presents a
process and a basic framework within which specific plans will be
presented, specific projects will be established, and specific
solutions will be proposed, and by which tools are provided to
the Agency to fashion, develop, and proceed with such specific
plans, projects, and solutions.
The purposes of the Urban Renewal Law will be attained
through, and the major goals of this Plan are:
The elimination of environmental deficiencies in the
Project Area, including, among others, obsolete and aged
building types, substandard alleys, and deteriorated
public improvements.
The assembly of land into parcels suitable for modern,
integrated development with improved pedestrian and
vehicular circulation in the Project Area.
The replanning, redesign, and development of undeveloped
areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized.

A.
The potential use of the City's geothermal resource.
The strengthening of retail and other commercial
functions in the downtown area.
The strengthening of the economic base of the Project
Area and the community by the installation of needed
site improvements to stimulate new commercial expansion,
employment, and economic growth.
The provision of adequate land for parking and open
spaces.
The establishment and implementation of performance
criteria to assure high site design standards and
environmental quality and other design elements which
provide unity and integrity to the entire Project.
The opportunity of providing housing within the downtown
core area.
The strengthening of the tax base by encouraging private
development thus increasing the assessed valuation of
properties within the Revenue Allocation Area and the
Project Area as a whole, and benefitting the various
taxing districts in which the Urban Renewal Area is
located.
[§101)

Other Provisions Necessary to Meet Federal,
State, and Local Requirements
[§102) Conformance With Federal Regulations
In 1979, the City of Boise, the Agency, and the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entered
into a closeout agreement affecting a financial settlement of
urban renewal projects with HUD. As a result of that agreement,
the Agency has carried out the purposes of the urban renewal
plan under the authority of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended. By virtue of the agreement, all federal
funds previously committed to the Agency are reserved by HUD for
use by the City in its community development block grant program.
Since 1979, the Agency has been a subrecipient of community
development funds from the City. Therefore, all federal funds
currently designated for use by the Agency shall be spent in
accordance with the applicable regulations implementing the
Community Development Act. As a subrecipient of community
development funds the Agency must comply with various federal
regulations concerning, inter alia, section 106 of the Historic
Preservation Act of 1966.

2. [§103] Conformance With State of Idaho
Urban Renewal Law of 1965
a. The laws of the State of Idaho require that a
Redevelopment Area Plan be prepared by the
Redevelopment Agency of Boise City for an area
certified as a Redevelopment Area by the Boise City
Council. The Boise Central District Redevelopment
Area Plan was certified by the Council on May 22,
1967.
b. In accordance with the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of
1965, this Plan was submitted to the Planning-zoning
Commission of the City of Boise by the City
Council. After consideration of the Plan, the
Commission filed a resolution with the City Council
stating that this Plan is in conformity with
A Policy Plan for the Boise Metropolitan Area.
c. Pursuant to the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of 1965,
the City Council, having published due notice
thereof, a public hearing was held on this Plan.
Notice of the hearing was duly published in a
newspaper having general circulation. The City
Council adopted this Plan on , 19 , by
Ordinance No. --
[§104] Summary of Changes to Previous Urban Renewal
Plans.
Because of certain requirements and regulations, two urban
renewal plans have existed since the late 1960s, even though the
contents and substance of the plans were virtually the same. Two
project areas were identified, adjacent to each other. Because
of the change in 1979 from operating under the federal urban
renewal regulations to community development block grant regula-tions,
there is no necessity to maintain the distinction between
the project areas.
Another remnant of the urban renewal regulations is the
previous distinction between federally assisted and non-federally
assisted areas of the overall project area. Presumably all of
the regulations and standards of previous urban renewal plans,
including acquisition, would apply in the non-federally aided
jurisdiction, but no federal funds were available to complete
those activities. This distinction is no longer significant,
because of the change from urban renewal to block grant
jurisdiction.
Under previous plans, the non-federal aid area was subject
to the design review aspects of the plan. Since the adoption of
Ordinance No. 4816 by the Boise City Council on January 2, 1985,
the Agency has been granted design review authority over the
entire described Project Area. Therefore, the boundaries of the
- 4 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
Project Area are coextensive with the design review district
designated by the Boise City Council. In all respects, the
provisions of this Plan apply to all properties located within
the Agency's boundaries.
Under the Idaho Urban Renewal Law and previous Renewal
Plans, certain changes or amendments which were substantive in
nature required consent of any property owner who had previously
acquired real property from the Agency if his property interest
is substantially affected by the proposed modification. While
this current Plan is substantially different in form, the overall
substance of land use, purpose, and interest is similar to all
plans previously adopted.
Previously, substantial changes were regarded as revisions in
project boundaries, land uses permitted, acquisition of proper-ties
not designated for acquisition, structures feasible for
rehabilitation, and other changes which would violate the objec-tives
of previous plans. This current Plan does revise project
boundaries, though the previously so-called federally assisted
area would now be coterminous with the overall area boundaries.
There has been no change in land uses permitted; thus the text of
this Plan does not violate any of the objectives of previous
plans.
II. [§200] DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA
The boundaries of the Project Area are described in the
Description of the Project Area Boundaries," attached hereto as
Attachment No. 1 and incorporated herein by reference, and are
shown on the "Project Area and Land Use Map," attached hereto as
Attachment No. 2 and incorporated herein by reference.
The boundaries of the Revenue Allocation Area are described
in the Description of Properties Within the Revenue Allocation
Area, attached hereto as Attachment No. 3 and incorporated by
reference. The Map of the Revenue Allocation Area is attached
hereto as Attachment No. 4 and incorporated by reference.

PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
General
The Agency proposes to eliminate and prevent the spread of
blight and deterioration in the Project Area by:
1. The acquisition of certain real property;
2. The demolition or removal of certain buildings and
improvements;
3. The provision for participation by property owners
within the Project Area;
- 5 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
4. The management of any property acquired by and
under the ownership and control of the Agency;
5. The provision for relocation assistance to dis-placed
Project occupants, as required by federal
law;
6. The installation, construction, or reconstruction
of streets, utilities, parking facilities, and
other public improvements including, but not
limited to, a convention center and courthouse
facility;
7. The disposition of property for uses in accordance
with this Plan;
8. The redevelopment of land by private enterprise or
public agencies for uses in accordance with this
Plan;
9. The rehabilitation of structures and improvements
by present owners, their successors, and the
Agency;
10. The assembly of adequate sites for the development
and construction of commercial facilities;
11. To the extent allowed by law, lend or invest
federal funds to facilitate redevelopment; and
12. The construction of foundations, platforms, and
other like structural forms necessary for the
provision or utilization of air rights, sites for
buildings, to be used for residential, commercial,
industrial, and other uses contemplated by the Plan
and to provide utilities to the development site.
In the accomplishment of these purposes and activities and in
the implementation and furtherance of this Plan, the Agency is
authorized to use all the powers provided in this Plan and all
the powers now or hereafter permitted by law.
B. [§302] Urban Renewal Plan Objectives
Urban Renewal action is necessary in the Project Area to
combat problems of physical blight and economic obsolescence.
The Project Area consists of approximately eighteen (18)
blocks within the Boise Central Business District. The area has
a history of declining tax base primarily attributed to:
deteriorating structures; inadequate and inconvenient parking;
and poorly maintained properties, abandoned railroad right-of-way,
and other deteriorating areas.
- 6 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
This environment contrasts sharply with the growing economic
and cultural strength of Boise City and the Ada County region for
which the Boise Central Business District serves as the commer-cial
and cultural center.
Hence, the Urban Renewal Plan for the Project Area is a
proposal for major clearance to provide land for innovative,
imaginative, and contemporary commercial facilities; to remove
impediments to land disposition and development; as well as to
achieve changes in land use. It is further designed to eliminate
unhealthy, unsanitary, or unsafe conditions, and otherwise pre-vent
the extension of blight and deterioration.
The streets to be vacated, or relocated, will create addi-tional
buildable area for retail, commercial, office, or public
use.
Air rights and subterranean rights may be disposed of for any
permitted use within the Project Area boundaries.
Less than fee acquisition may be utilized by the Boise Re-development
Agency when and if necessary to promote redevelopment
in accordance with the objectives of the Plan.
Temporary project improvements shall be provided to facili-tate
adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
All existing alleys within the Project Area aay be vacated to
permit development as well as encourage variety and flexibility
of design within the periphery blocks.
The Project Area is part of a larger Downtown Improvement
Area which the Boise City Council, pursuant to Resolution
No. 7995, found, inter alia, to contain a substantial number of
deteriorating buildings. A copy of Resolution No. 7995 is
attached as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
A further objective of the Urban Renewal Plan is to acquire
and clear land to be used for other public facilities, including
a convention center and a courthouse facility. Off-street park-ing
and loading facilities will be developed to serve the new
commercial complex within the Project Area. Land use in the
Project Area will be modified to the extent that buildings
currently vacant and land now devoted to scattered surface
parking will be converted to commercial, public parking, and
public/semi-public uses.
In coordination with the State Historical Society and the
Boise City Historical Preservation Commission, consideration will
be given to the preservation of structures of historic and archi-tectural
value within, or the moving of said structures outside,
the Project Area boundaries.

Participation Opportunities and Agreement
[§304] Participation Agreements
The Agency may allow for an existing owner of property
to retain his property and/or structure subject to entering into
an owner-participation agreement.
Each structure and building in the Project Area to be
rehabilitated as a condition of the owner-participation agreement
between the Agency and the owner pursuant to this Plan will be
considered to be satisfactorily rehabilitated, and the Agency
will so certify, if the rehabilitated structure meets the
following standards:
(a) Executed owner-participation agreement to meet
conditions of (b) below of the Agency.
(b) Any such property within the Project shall be
required to conform to all applicable provisions,
requirements, and regulations of this Plan. Upon
completion of rehabilitation, each structure must
be safe and sound in all physical respects and be
refurbished and altered to bring the property to
an upgraded marketable condition which will con-tinue
throughout an estimated useful life for a
minimum of thirty (30) years.
(c) All such buildings or portions of buildings which
are to remain within the Project Area shall be
reconstructed in conformity with all applicable
codes and ordinances of the City of Boise.
(d) It is the requirement of the Plan to remodel or
improve facades and interior arrangements; remove
or replace equipment and materials in order to
achieve attractive and economically competitive
facilities appropriate to a central business
district.
In such participation agreements, participants who
retain real property shall be required to join in the recordation
of such documents as may be necessary to make the provisions of
this Plan applicable to their properties. Whether or not a
participant enters into a participation agreement with the
Agency, the provisions of this Plan are applicable to all public
and private property in the Project Area.
In the event a participant fails or refuses to reha-bilitate,
develop, use, and maintain its real property pursuant
to this Plan and a participation agreement, the real property or
any interest therein may be acquired by the Agency and sold or
leased for rehabilitation or development in accordance with this
Plan.

2. [§305] Conforming Owners
The Agency may, at its sole and absolute discretion,
determine that certain real property within the Project Area
presently meets the requirements of this Plan, and the owner of
such property will be permitted to remain as a conforming owner
without a participation agreement with the Agency, provided such
owner continues to operate, use, and maintain the real property
within the requirements of this Plan. However, a conforming
owner shall be required by the Agency to enter into a partici-pation
agreement with the Agency in the event that such owner
desires to: (a) construct any additional improvements or sub-stantially
alter or modify existing structures on any of the real
property described above as conforming; or (b) acquire additional
property within the Project Area.
The Agency has previously entered into disposition and
development agreements (see Sections 317 and 318 infra) with
several developers who have completed redevelopment projects and
who have received or are entitled to certificates of completion.
The Agency hereby determines that the following project owners
are conforming owners under the terms of this section:
Idaho First National Bank
One Capital Center
The Egyptian Theatre
The Statehouse Inn
The City of Boise
Ada County
Provided, however, that said developers are still bound to the
provisions of the covenants filed on the real property and any
other contracted provisions. The developers listed above shall
be required to enter into a participation agreement only in the
event such owner desires to acquire additional property within
the Project Area. The Agency has also previously entered into a
participation agreement with the developers of the Sanna Building
located at the northwest corner of Ninth and Main Streets. The
Agency hereby determines that this project owner is a conforming
owner, subject to the condition that the remaining activities
under the participation agreement are completed.
D. [§306] Cooperation with Public Bodies
Certain public bodies are authorized by state law to aid and
cooperate, with or without consideration, in the planning, under-taking,
construction, or operation of this Project. The Agency
shall seek the aid and cooperation of such public bodies and
shall attempt to coordinate this Plan with the activities of such
public bodies in order to accomplish the purposes of redevelop-and
the highest public good.
9
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
The Agency will seek the cooperation of all public bodies
which own or intend to acquire property in the Project Area. All
plans for development of property in the Project Area by a public
body shall be subject to Agency approval.
The Agency may impose on all public bodies the planning and
design controls contained in this Plan to insure that present
uses and any future development by public bodies will conform to
the requirements of this Plan. The Agency is authorized to
financially (and otherwise) assist any public entity in the cost
of public land, buildings, facilities, structures, or other
improvements when such land, buildings, facilities, structures,
or other improvements are or would be of benefit to the Project.
The Agency specifically intends to cooperate to the extent
allowable with the Greater Boise Auditorium District for the
development of a convention center.
E. [§307]
1 .
Property Acquisition
[§308] Real Property
Except as specifically exempted herein, the Agency may
acquire, but is not required to acquire, any real property
located in the Project Area by any means authorized by law
(including, but not limited to, the Idaho Urban Renewal Law and
the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970). The Agency is authorized to acquire
either the entire fee or any other interest in real property less
than a fee.
It is in the public interest and is necessary in order
to eliminate the conditions requiring redevelopment and in order
to execute this Plan for the power of eminent domain to be em-ployed
by the Agency to acquire real property in the Project Area
which cannot be acquired by gift, devise, exchange, purchase, or
any other lawful method.
Under previous plans, the Agency identified certain
properties it did not intend to acquire, even though those prop-erties
were within the urban renewal area. The properties
previously identified as not subject to acquisition were as
follows:
(a) The First Interstate Building and adjacent parking
garage, generally located at the northwest corner
of Capitol Boulevard and Idaho Street;
(b) The First Security Bank Building and adjacent
parking lot, generally located at the southwest
corner of Ninth Street and Idaho Street; and
- 10 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
(c) The Piper Jaffray and Hopwood Building, and an
adjacent parcel generally located at 923 West Idaho
Street (the southeast corner of Tenth Street and
Idaho Street).
The Agency reasserts that it does not currently intend to acquire
those properties, but nothing herein prohibits the Agency from
acquiring those properties or requiring those property owners
from entering into an owner participation agreement.
Those properties not designated for acquisition,
however, shall be subject to the specific provisions, require-ments,
and controls of this Plan. The owners of such not-to-be
acquired parcels will receive written notice of any necessary
iaprovements. The Boise Redevelopment Agency may acquire such
interests in the property as may be necessary to obtain
compliance with this Plan.
2. [§309} Personal Property
Generally, personal property shall not be acquired.
However, where necessary in the execution of this Plan, the
Agency is authorized to acquire personal property in the Project
Area by any lawful means, including eminent domain.
F. [§310} Property Management
During such time as property, if any, in the Project Area is
owned by the Agency, such property shall be under the management
and control of the Agency. such property may be rented or leased
by the Agency pending its disposition for redevelopment, and such
rental or lease shall be pursuant to such policies as the Agency
may adopt.
G. [§311]
Since this project has been funded primarily with
federal funds, the Agency shall comply with 24 CFR Part 42,
iaplementing the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. The Agency may also undertake
relocation activities for those not entitled to benefit under
federal law as the Agency may deem appropriate for which funds
are available.

Demolition, Clearance, and Building and Site
Preparation
[§313] Demolition and Clearance
The Agency is authorized (but not required) to demolish
and clear buildings, structures, and other improvements from any
- 11 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
real property in the Project Area as necessary to carry out the
purposes of this Plan.
2. [§314] Preparation of Building Sites
The Agency is authorized (but not required) to prepare,
or cause to be prepared, as building sites any real property in
the Project Area owned by the Agency. In connection therewith,
the Agency may cause, provide for, or undertake the installation
or construction of streets, utilities, parks, playgrounds,
parking facilities, a convention center, and other public
improvements necessary to carry out this Plan. The Agency is
also authorized (but not required) to construct foundations,
platforms, and other structural forms necessary for the provision
or utilization of air rights sites for buildings to be used for
residential, commercial, private, public, and other uses provided
in this Plan.
I. [§315]

Property Disposition and Development
[§316]
a.
Real Property Disposition and
Development
[§3171 General
For the purposes of this Plan, the Agency is authorized
to sell, lease, exchange, subdivide, transfer, assign, pledge,
encumber by mortgage or deed of trust, or otherwise dispose of
any interest in real property under the reuse provisions set
forth in Idaho Code section 50-2011. To the extent permitted by
law, the Agency is authorized to dispose of real property by
negotiated lease, sale, or transfer without public bidding.

heights, setbacks, and other like standards.
The Agency has adopted a set of development and design con-trols,
as set forth in Documents 1, 4, and 5 of the Appendix.
These design controls shall govern all improvements within the
Project Area. The Agency shall be guided by those design
controls as well as the Design Standards promulgated by the City
of Boise Design Review Ordinance (Boise City Code section 11-2-

including assistance from any taxing district or any public
entity including, but not limited to, the Greater Boise
Auditorium District.
The Agency is also authorized to obtain advances, borrow
funds, and create indebtedness in carrying out this Plan. The
principal and interest on such advances, funds, and indebtedness
aay be paid from any other funds available to the Agency. The

proposed modification will substantially change the Plan, the
modifications must be approved by the City Council in the same
manner as the original Plan. Substantial changes for City
Council approval purposes shall be regarded as revisions in
project boundaries, land uses permitted, land acquisition, and
other changes which will violate the objectives of this Plan.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES, COSTS, AND TAX IMPACT
The objectives of the City of Boise in undertaking the urban
renewal project are as follows:
Urban renewal action is necessary in the Project Area (which
includes the Revenue Allocation Area) to combat problems of
physical blight and economic obsolescence.
The Project Area consists of approximately eighteen (18)
blocks within the Boise Central Business District. The Revenue
Allocation Area consists of approximately ten (10) blocks. Both
areas have a history of declining tax base, primarily attributed
to: deteriorating structures; inadequate and inconvenient park-ing;
and poorly maintained properties, abandoned railroad right-of-
way, and other deteriorating areas.
This environment contrasts sharply with the growing economic
and cultural strength of Boise City and the Ada County region for
which the Boise Central Business District serves as the commer-cial
and cultural center.
Hence, the Urban Renewal Plan for the Project Area is a
proposal for major clearance to provide land for innovative,
imaginative, and contemporary commercial facilities; to remove
impediments to land disposition and development; as well as to
achieve changes in land use. It is further designed to eliminate
unhealthy, unsanitary, or unsafe conditions, and otherwise
prevent the extension of blight and deterioration.
The streets to be vacated, or relocated, will create addi-tional
buildable area for retail, commercial, office, or public
use.
Air rights and subterranean rights may be disposed of for any
permitted use within the Project Area boundaries.
Less than fee acquisition may be utilized by the Boise
Redevelopment Agency when and if necessary to promote redevelop-ment
in accordance with the objectives of the Plan.
Temporary project improvements shall be provided to
facilitate adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
All existing alleys within the Project Area may be vacated to
permit development as well as encourage variety and flexibility
of design within the periphery blocks.
The Project Area is part of a larger Downtown Improvement
Area which the Boise City Council, pursuant to Resolution
No. 7995, found, inter alia, to contain a substantial number of
deteriorating buildings.
ATTACHMENT NO. 5 - 1
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
A further objective of the Urban Renewal Plan is to acquire
and clear land to be used for other public facilities, including
a convention center and a courthouse facility. Off-street park-ing
and loading facilities will be developed to serve the new
commercial complex within the Project Area. Land use in the
Project Area will be modified to the extent that buildings
currently vacant and land now devoted to scattered surface
parking will be converted to commercial, public parking, and
public/semi-public uses.
In coordination with the State Historical Society and the
Boise City Historical Preservation Commission, consideration will
be given to the preservation of structures of historic and archi-tectural
value within, or the moving of said structures outside,
the Project Area boundaries.
Anticipated costs of the urban renewal project, revenue
sources, estimated revenue allocations, and the amount of
indebtedness required to complete the project are shown in
Attachment SA, Public Capital Improvements. Attachment SA
necessarily incorporates estimates and projections based on the
Agency's present knowledge and expectations. The Agency may
modify the presently anticipated urban renewal projects and use
of revenue allocation financing of the related project costs if
the Board of Directors of the Agency deems such modification
necessary or convenient to effectuate the general objectives of
the Plan. Any future modification will affect the estimate;
however, the maximum bonded indebtedness to be serviced by
revenue allocation proceeds will not exceed the $13,000,000
authorized by law. Construction during the project is antici-pated
to take place through 1993, and the project as a whole
(to accommodate debt service) will continue through year 2008.
Attachment SB, Estimated Time and Value of Private
Development in BRA Core, shows anticipated increases in tax
assessments through the development process.
Attachment SC, Revenue Allocation From Future Economic Growth
Act of 1987, demonstrates the expected impact of revenue alloca-tion
on the Revenue Allocation Area (Zone 1), the Project Area
(Zone 2), and a two-block periphery area (Zone 3). This attach-ment
also reflects the percentage of tax assessments (in essence,
the percentage of impact) allocated to each taxing district in
which the revenue allocation area is located.
The information contained in Attachments SA, SB, and SC
assumes certain projected actions. First, the Agency has
projected a bond term of twenty (20) years with the bonds issued
in 1988. The bond term will be finally determined by the market-ability
of the bonds. The bonds may, in fact, be issued over
several years. Under the provisions of the Act, the revenue
allocation may continue until the bond debt is satisfied.
Second, the total amount of bonded indebtedness and the amount
of revenue generated by revenue allocation is dependent upon the
ATTACHMENT NO. 5 - 2
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
extent and timing of private development. Attachment 58 projects
development from 1987 through 1993, with significant revenue
allocation beginning in 1994. Should all of the development take
place as projected, bonded indebtedness would be extinguished by
2008, with the possibility of earlier payoff, dependent upon
the bond sale documents and legal obligations therein. Should
private development take longer to materialize, or should the
private development be substantially less than projected, then
the amount of revenue generated will be substantially reduced and
bonds may continue for their full term. Under the projections
contained in Attachments SA, 58, and SC, the Agency anticipates
that the bonds could be fully paid (if consistent with the bond
documents) by the end of the year 2000.

URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
FOR THE
BOISE CENTRAL DISTRICT
THE BOISE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
INTRODUCTION
This is the Urban Renewal Plan (the "Plan") for the Boise
Central District Redevelopment Project (the "Project") in the
City of Boise (the "City"), County of Ada, State of Idaho, and
consists of the Text, the Description of the Project Area
Boundaries (Attachment No. 1), the Project Area and Land Use Map
(Attachment No. 2), the Description of the Properties Within the
Revenue Allocation Area (Attachment No. 3), the Revenue
Allocation Map (Attachment No. 4), the Statement of Objectives,
Costs, and Tax Impact (Attachment No. 5), Exhibit A Boise City
Council Resolution No. 7995, a resolution designating a certain
described area of Boise City as a Downtown Improvement Area, and
the Appendix.
The Appendix contains several planning documents which
generally describe the overall Project and identify certain
specific public and private capital improvement projects.
Because of the changing nature of the Project, these documents,
by necessity, must be dynamic and flexible. The Agency
anticipates that these documents will be modified as circum-stances
warrant. Any modification, however, shall not be deemed
as an amendment of this Plan. No modification will be deemed
effective if it is in conflict with this Plan. The planning
documents are generally illustrative, do not constitute specific
portions of the Plan, and are not deemed part of the Plan.
In the event of any conflict between this Plan and the appended
documents, the provisions of this Plan shall control.
The planning documents are identified as follows:
Document 1
Volume 1, Boise Downtown Urban Design Plan, Framework
Master Plan and Design Guidelines, adopted April 1,
1986;
Document 2
Volume 2, Boise Downtown Urban Design Plan, Public
Capital Improvements Projects, accepted April 1, 1986;
Document 3
Boise Downtown Redevelopment Project Parking Plan,
accepted October 1986;
- 1 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
Document 4
Boise Downtown Urban Design Plan, Design Manual for
Surface Improvement Projects, accepted October 1986; and
Document 5
Boise Downtown Development Strategy, accepted
February 1987.
This Plan was prepared by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Boise (the "Agency") pursuant to the State of Idaho (Idaho Urban
Renewal Law, ch. 20, title 50, Idaho Code), the Idaho Constitu-tion,
and all applicable local laws and ordinances.
The proposed redevelopment of the Project Area as described
in this Plan conforms to A Polic~ Plan for the Boise Metropolitan
Area (the Metro Plan) of Boise a opted by the City Council on
October 16, 1978 (Ordinance No. 4298), as amended.
This Plan provides the Agency with powers, duties, and obli-gations
to implement and further the program generally formulated
in this Plan for the redevelopment, rehabilitation, and revitali-zation
of the area within the boundaries of the Project (the
•project Area"). Because of the long-term nature of this Plan,
and the need to retain in the Agency flexibility to respond to
aarket and economic conditions, property owner and developer
interests and opportunities from time to time presented for
redevelopment, this Plan does not present a precise plan or
Establish specific projects for the redevelopment, rehabili-
Tation, and revitalization of any area within the Project Area,
nor does this Plan present specific proposals in an attempt to
solve or alleviate the concerns and problems of the community
relating to the Project Area. Instead, this Plan presents a
process and a basic framework within which specific plans will be
presented, specific projects will be established, and specific
solutions will be proposed, and by which tools are provided to
the Agency to fashion, develop, and proceed with such specific
plans, projects, and solutions.
The purposes of the Urban Renewal Law will be attained
through, and the major goals of this Plan are:
The elimination of environmental deficiencies in the
Project Area, including, among others, obsolete and aged
building types, substandard alleys, and deteriorated
public improvements.
The assembly of land into parcels suitable for modern,
integrated development with improved pedestrian and
vehicular circulation in the Project Area.
The replanning, redesign, and development of undeveloped
areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized.

A.
The potential use of the City's geothermal resource.
The strengthening of retail and other commercial
functions in the downtown area.
The strengthening of the economic base of the Project
Area and the community by the installation of needed
site improvements to stimulate new commercial expansion,
employment, and economic growth.
The provision of adequate land for parking and open
spaces.
The establishment and implementation of performance
criteria to assure high site design standards and
environmental quality and other design elements which
provide unity and integrity to the entire Project.
The opportunity of providing housing within the downtown
core area.
The strengthening of the tax base by encouraging private
development thus increasing the assessed valuation of
properties within the Revenue Allocation Area and the
Project Area as a whole, and benefitting the various
taxing districts in which the Urban Renewal Area is
located.
[§101)
1.
Other Provisions Necessary to Meet Federal,
State, and Local Requirements
[§102) Conformance With Federal Regulations
In 1979, the City of Boise, the Agency, and the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entered
into a closeout agreement affecting a financial settlement of
urban renewal projects with HUD. As a result of that agreement,
the Agency has carried out the purposes of the urban renewal
plan under the authority of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended. By virtue of the agreement, all federal
funds previously committed to the Agency are reserved by HUD for
use by the City in its community development block grant program.
Since 1979, the Agency has been a subrecipient of community
development funds from the City. Therefore, all federal funds
currently designated for use by the Agency shall be spent in
accordance with the applicable regulations implementing the
Community Development Act. As a subrecipient of community
development funds the Agency must comply with various federal
regulations concerning, inter alia, section 106 of the Historic
Preservation Act of 1966.

a. The laws of the State of Idaho require that a
Redevelopment Area Plan be prepared by the
Redevelopment Agency of Boise City for an area
certified as a Redevelopment Area by the Boise City
Council. The Boise Central District Redevelopment
Area Plan was certified by the Council on May 22,
1967.
b. In accordance with the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of
1965, this Plan was submitted to the Planning-zoning
Commission of the City of Boise by the City
Council. After consideration of the Plan, the
Commission filed a resolution with the City Council
stating that this Plan is in conformity with
A Policy Plan for the Boise Metropolitan Area.
c. Pursuant to the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of 1965,
the City Council, having published due notice
thereof, a public hearing was held on this Plan.
Notice of the hearing was duly published in a
newspaper having general circulation. The City
Council adopted this Plan on , 19 , by
Ordinance No. --
[§104] Summary of Changes to Previous Urban Renewal
Plans.
Because of certain requirements and regulations, two urban
renewal plans have existed since the late 1960s, even though the
contents and substance of the plans were virtually the same. Two
project areas were identified, adjacent to each other. Because
of the change in 1979 from operating under the federal urban
renewal regulations to community development block grant regula-tions,
there is no necessity to maintain the distinction between
the project areas.
Another remnant of the urban renewal regulations is the
previous distinction between federally assisted and non-federally
assisted areas of the overall project area. Presumably all of
the regulations and standards of previous urban renewal plans,
including acquisition, would apply in the non-federally aided
jurisdiction, but no federal funds were available to complete
those activities. This distinction is no longer significant,
because of the change from urban renewal to block grant
jurisdiction.
Under previous plans, the non-federal aid area was subject
to the design review aspects of the plan. Since the adoption of
Ordinance No. 4816 by the Boise City Council on January 2, 1985,
the Agency has been granted design review authority over the
entire described Project Area. Therefore, the boundaries of the
- 4 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
Project Area are coextensive with the design review district
designated by the Boise City Council. In all respects, the
provisions of this Plan apply to all properties located within
the Agency's boundaries.
Under the Idaho Urban Renewal Law and previous Renewal
Plans, certain changes or amendments which were substantive in
nature required consent of any property owner who had previously
acquired real property from the Agency if his property interest
is substantially affected by the proposed modification. While
this current Plan is substantially different in form, the overall
substance of land use, purpose, and interest is similar to all
plans previously adopted.
Previously, substantial changes were regarded as revisions in
project boundaries, land uses permitted, acquisition of proper-ties
not designated for acquisition, structures feasible for
rehabilitation, and other changes which would violate the objec-tives
of previous plans. This current Plan does revise project
boundaries, though the previously so-called federally assisted
area would now be coterminous with the overall area boundaries.
There has been no change in land uses permitted; thus the text of
this Plan does not violate any of the objectives of previous
plans.
II. [§200] DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA
The boundaries of the Project Area are described in the

[§301]
PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
General
The Agency proposes to eliminate and prevent the spread of
blight and deterioration in the Project Area by:
1. The acquisition of certain real property;
2. The demolition or removal of certain buildings and
improvements;
3. The provision for participation by property owners
within the Project Area;
- 5 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
4. The management of any property acquired by and
under the ownership and control of the Agency;
5. The provision for relocation assistance to dis-placed
Project occupants, as required by federal
law;
6. The installation, construction, or reconstruction
of streets, utilities, parking facilities, and
other public improvements including, but not
limited to, a convention center and courthouse
facility;
7. The disposition of property for uses in accordance
with this Plan;
8. The redevelopment of land by private enterprise or
public agencies for uses in accordance with this
Plan;
9. The rehabilitation of structures and improvements
by present owners, their successors, and the
Agency;
10. The assembly of adequate sites for the development
and construction of commercial facilities;
11. To the extent allowed by law, lend or invest
federal funds to facilitate redevelopment; and
12. The construction of foundations, platforms, and
other like structural forms necessary for the
provision or utilization of air rights, sites for
buildings, to be used for residential, commercial,
industrial, and other uses contemplated by the Plan
and to provide utilities to the development site.
In the accomplishment of these purposes and activities and in
the implementation and furtherance of this Plan, the Agency is
authorized to use all the powers provided in this Plan and all
the powers now or hereafter permitted by law.
B. [§302] Urban Renewal Plan Objectives
Urban Renewal action is necessary in the Project Area to
combat problems of physical blight and economic obsolescence.
The Project Area consists of approximately eighteen (18)
blocks within the Boise Central Business District. The area has
a history of declining tax base primarily attributed to:
deteriorating structures; inadequate and inconvenient parking;
and poorly maintained properties, abandoned railroad right-of-way,
and other deteriorating areas.
- 6 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
This environment contrasts sharply with the growing economic
and cultural strength of Boise City and the Ada County region for
which the Boise Central Business District serves as the commer-cial
and cultural center.
Hence, the Urban Renewal Plan for the Project Area is a
proposal for major clearance to provide land for innovative,
imaginative, and contemporary commercial facilities; to remove
impediments to land disposition and development; as well as to
achieve changes in land use. It is further designed to eliminate
unhealthy, unsanitary, or unsafe conditions, and otherwise pre-vent
the extension of blight and deterioration.
The streets to be vacated, or relocated, will create addi-tional
buildable area for retail, commercial, office, or public
use.
Air rights and subterranean rights may be disposed of for any
permitted use within the Project Area boundaries.
Less than fee acquisition may be utilized by the Boise Re-development
Agency when and if necessary to promote redevelopment
in accordance with the objectives of the Plan.
Temporary project improvements shall be provided to facili-tate
adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
All existing alleys within the Project Area aay be vacated to
permit development as well as encourage variety and flexibility
of design within the periphery blocks.
The Project Area is part of a larger Downtown Improvement
Area which the Boise City Council, pursuant to Resolution
No. 7995, found, inter alia, to contain a substantial number of
deteriorating buildings. A copy of Resolution No. 7995 is
attached as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
A further objective of the Urban Renewal Plan is to acquire
and clear land to be used for other public facilities, including
a convention center and a courthouse facility. Off-street park-ing
and loading facilities will be developed to serve the new
commercial complex within the Project Area. Land use in the
Project Area will be modified to the extent that buildings
currently vacant and land now devoted to scattered surface
parking will be converted to commercial, public parking, and
public/semi-public uses.
In coordination with the State Historical Society and the
Boise City Historical Preservation Commission, consideration will
be given to the preservation of structures of historic and archi-tectural
value within, or the moving of said structures outside,
the Project Area boundaries.

Participation Opportunities and Agreement
[§304] Participation Agreements
The Agency may allow for an existing owner of property
to retain his property and/or structure subject to entering into
an owner-participation agreement.
Each structure and building in the Project Area to be
rehabilitated as a condition of the owner-participation agreement
between the Agency and the owner pursuant to this Plan will be
considered to be satisfactorily rehabilitated, and the Agency
will so certify, if the rehabilitated structure meets the
following standards:
(a) Executed owner-participation agreement to meet
conditions of (b) below of the Agency.
(b) Any such property within the Project shall be
required to conform to all applicable provisions,
requirements, and regulations of this Plan. Upon
completion of rehabilitation, each structure must
be safe and sound in all physical respects and be
refurbished and altered to bring the property to
an upgraded marketable condition which will con-tinue
throughout an estimated useful life for a
minimum of thirty (30) years.
(c) All such buildings or portions of buildings which
are to remain within the Project Area shall be
reconstructed in conformity with all applicable
codes and ordinances of the City of Boise.
(d) It is the requirement of the Plan to remodel or
improve facades and interior arrangements; remove
or replace equipment and materials in order to
achieve attractive and economically competitive
facilities appropriate to a central business
district.
In such participation agreements, participants who
retain real property shall be required to join in the recordation
of such documents as may be necessary to make the provisions of
this Plan applicable to their properties. Whether or not a
participant enters into a participation agreement with the
Agency, the provisions of this Plan are applicable to all public
and private property in the Project Area.
In the event a participant fails or refuses to reha-bilitate,
develop, use, and maintain its real property pursuant
to this Plan and a participation agreement, the real property or
any interest therein may be acquired by the Agency and sold or
leased for rehabilitation or development in accordance with this
Plan.

2. [§305] Conforming Owners
The Agency may, at its sole and absolute discretion,
determine that certain real property within the Project Area
presently meets the requirements of this Plan, and the owner of
such property will be permitted to remain as a conforming owner
without a participation agreement with the Agency, provided such
owner continues to operate, use, and maintain the real property
within the requirements of this Plan. However, a conforming
owner shall be required by the Agency to enter into a partici-pation
agreement with the Agency in the event that such owner
desires to: (a) construct any additional improvements or sub-stantially
alter or modify existing structures on any of the real
property described above as conforming; or (b) acquire additional
property within the Project Area.
The Agency has previously entered into disposition and
development agreements (see Sections 317 and 318 infra) with
several developers who have completed redevelopment projects and
who have received or are entitled to certificates of completion.
The Agency hereby determines that the following project owners
are conforming owners under the terms of this section:
Idaho First National Bank
One Capital Center
The Egyptian Theatre
The Statehouse Inn
The City of Boise
Ada County
Provided, however, that said developers are still bound to the
provisions of the covenants filed on the real property and any
other contracted provisions. The developers listed above shall
be required to enter into a participation agreement only in the
event such owner desires to acquire additional property within
the Project Area. The Agency has also previously entered into a
participation agreement with the developers of the Sanna Building
located at the northwest corner of Ninth and Main Streets. The
Agency hereby determines that this project owner is a conforming
owner, subject to the condition that the remaining activities
under the participation agreement are completed.
D. [§306] Cooperation with Public Bodies
Certain public bodies are authorized by state law to aid and
cooperate, with or without consideration, in the planning, under-taking,
construction, or operation of this Project. The Agency
shall seek the aid and cooperation of such public bodies and
shall attempt to coordinate this Plan with the activities of such
public bodies in order to accomplish the purposes of redevelop-and
the highest public good.
9
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
The Agency will seek the cooperation of all public bodies
which own or intend to acquire property in the Project Area. All
plans for development of property in the Project Area by a public
body shall be subject to Agency approval.
The Agency may impose on all public bodies the planning and
design controls contained in this Plan to insure that present
uses and any future development by public bodies will conform to
the requirements of this Plan. The Agency is authorized to
financially (and otherwise) assist any public entity in the cost
of public land, buildings, facilities, structures, or other
improvements when such land, buildings, facilities, structures,
or other improvements are or would be of benefit to the Project.
The Agency specifically intends to cooperate to the extent
allowable with the Greater Boise Auditorium District for the
development of a convention center.
E. [§307]
1 .
Property Acquisition
[§308] Real Property
Except as specifically exempted herein, the Agency may
acquire, but is not required to acquire, any real property
located in the Project Area by any means authorized by law
(including, but not limited to, the Idaho Urban Renewal Law and
the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970). The Agency is authorized to acquire
either the entire fee or any other interest in real property less
than a fee.
It is in the public interest and is necessary in order
to eliminate the conditions requiring redevelopment and in order
to execute this Plan for the power of eminent domain to be em-ployed
by the Agency to acquire real property in the Project Area
which cannot be acquired by gift, devise, exchange, purchase, or
any other lawful method.
Under previous plans, the Agency identified certain
properties it did not intend to acquire, even though those prop-erties
were within the urban renewal area. The properties
previously identified as not subject to acquisition were as
follows:
(a) The First Interstate Building and adjacent parking
garage, generally located at the northwest corner
of Capitol Boulevard and Idaho Street;
(b) The First Security Bank Building and adjacent
parking lot, generally located at the southwest
corner of Ninth Street and Idaho Street; and
- 10 -
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
(c) The Piper Jaffray and Hopwood Building, and an
adjacent parcel generally located at 923 West Idaho
Street (the southeast corner of Tenth Street and
Idaho Street).
The Agency reasserts that it does not currently intend to acquire
those properties, but nothing herein prohibits the Agency from
acquiring those properties or requiring those property owners
from entering into an owner participation agreement.
Those properties not designated for acquisition,
however, shall be subject to the specific provisions, require-ments,
and controls of this Plan. The owners of such not-to-be
acquired parcels will receive written notice of any necessary
iaprovements. The Boise Redevelopment Agency may acquire such
interests in the property as may be necessary to obtain
compliance with this Plan.
2. [§309} Personal Property
Generally, personal property shall not be acquired.
However, where necessary in the execution of this Plan, the
Agency is authorized to acquire personal property in the Project
Area by any lawful means, including eminent domain.
F. [§310} Property Management
During such time as property, if any, in the Project Area is
owned by the Agency, such property shall be under the management
and control of the Agency. such property may be rented or leased
by the Agency pending its disposition for redevelopment, and such
rental or lease shall be pursuant to such policies as the Agency
may adopt.
G. [§311]
Since this project has been funded primarily with
federal funds, the Agency shall comply with 24 CFR Part 42,
iaplementing the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. The Agency may also undertake
relocation activities for those not entitled to benefit under
federal law as the Agency may deem appropriate for which funds
are available.

owned building, facility, structure, or other improvement,
either within or without the Project Area, for itself or for any
public body or entity, which buildings, facilities, structures,
or other improvements are or would be of benefit to the Project
Area. Specifically, the Agency may pay for, install, or con-struct
the buildings, _facilities, structures and other improve-aents
identified in the Appendix, attached hereto and incorpo-rated
herein by reference, and may acquire or pay for the land
required therefor.
The Agency may also prepare properties for development
by renovation or other means as allowed by law. The Agency may
also as allowed by law, assist in the development of private
projects.
In addition to the public improvements authorized under
Idaho Code section 306 and the specific publicly owned improve-aents
identified in the Appendix of this Plan, the Agency is
authorized to install and construct, or to cause to be installed

K. [§323] Participation With Private Development
Under the Idaho Urban Renewal Law, the Agency has the author-ity
to lend or invest funds obtained from the federal government
for the purposes of the Urban Renewal law if allowable under
federal laws or regulations. The federal funds currently
available to the Agency are governed by regulations promulgated
by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the
Community Development Block Grant Program.
Under those regulations, the Agency may participate with the
private sector in the development and financing of those private
projects which will attain certain federal objectives.
The Agency may, therefore, use the federal funds for the
provision of assistance to private for profit business,
including, but not limited to, grants, loans, loan guarantees,
interest supplements, technical assistance, and other forms of
support, for any other activity necessary or appropriate to carry
out an economic development project.
L. [§324] Fine Arts and Performing Arts Fund
The Agency may require as part of any disposition and
development agreement that the Developer provide an amount equi-valent
to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the original esti-aated
amount of construction costs for improvements or buildings
to be constructed on property purchased from the Agency for the
purpose of providing works of art. Provided, however, that the
sum of money so calculated need not exceed One Hundred Seventy-five
Thousand Dollars ($175,000) from any one single Developer
for any one single redevelopment project.

In addition, the Agency may require as part of any
disposition and development agreement that the Developer provide
an amount equivalent to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the
original estimated amount of construction costs for improvements
or buildings to be constructed on property purchased from the
Agency for the purpose of providing a fund for performing arts
and entertainment. Provided, however, that the sum of money so
calculated need not exceed One Hundred Seventy-five Thousand
Dollars ($175,000) from any one single Developer for any one
single redevelopment project.
In the event the Agency does not require, as part of the
disposition and development agreement, the contributions des-cribed
above, upon completion of the redevelopment project, the
Agency shall dedicate one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the
construction costs of the project (as defined above) for fine
arts and one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the construction costs
(as defined above) for the performing arts.
Works of art shall be selected and provided by the
Agency, separately from any construction costs of the Developer.
The Agency Board of Directors shall make selections of the works
of art, with the advice and assistance of the Boise City Arts
Commission. Works selected may be an integral part of the
structure, attached to the structure, detached within or outside
of the structure, or may be exhibited by the Agency in other
public areas of the project.
The Agency may establish an endowment fund for per-forming
arts. Expenditures from this fund shall be the decision
of the Agency with the advice and assistance of business associ-ations,
community organizations, or like entity, at the
discretion of the Agency.
M. [§ 325] Agency Participation in the Business
Improvement District
The success of the overall urban renewal project depends
on a business improvement district to operate and maintain the
public capital improvements. In order to facilitate the estab-lishment
of such a district, the Agency may voluntarily partici-pate
in any district organized under Chapter 26, Title 50 of the
Idaho Code.

c. The potential need to serve not only the
Project Area and new or existing devel-opments,
but to also serve areas outside
the Project by providing convenient and
efficient vehicular access and movement.
The public rights-of-way may be used for vehicular
and/or pedestrian traffic, as well as for public improvements,
public and private utilities, and activities typically found in
public rights-of-way.
2. [§406] Other Public, Semi-Public,
Institutional, and Nonprofit Uses
The Agency is also authorized to permit the maintenance,
establishment, or enlargement of public, semi-public, insti-tutional,
or nonprofit uses, including park and recreational
facilities; a convention center; libraries; educational,
fraternal, employee; philanthropic, religious and charitable
institutions; utilities; governmental facilities, including a
courthouse; and facilities of other similar associations or
organizations. All such uses shall, to the extent possible,
conform to the provisions of this Plan applicable to the uses in
the specific area involved. The Agency may impose such other
reasonable requirements andjor restrictions as may be necessary
to protect the development and use of the Project Area.
3. [§407] Interim Uses
Pending the ultimate development of land by developers
and participants, the Agency is authorized to use or permit the
use of any land in the Project Area for interim uses that are not
in conformity with the uses permitted in this Plan. However, any
interim use must comply with applicable Boise City Code.
4. [§408] Nonconforming Uses
The Agency may permit an existing use to remain in an
existing building in good condition which use does not conform to
the provisions of this Plan, provided that such use is generally
compatible with existing and proposed developments and uses in
the Project Area. The owner of such a property must be willing
to enter into a participation agreement and agree to the impo-sition
of such reasonable restrictions as may be necessary to
protect the development and use of the Project Area.
The Agency may authorize additions, alterations,
repairs, or other improvements in the Project Area for uses which
do not conform to the provisions of this Plan where such improve-ments
are within a portion of the Project where, in the deter-mination
of the Agency, such improvements would be compatible
with surrounding Project uses and development.

These design controls shall govern all improvements within the
Project Area. The Agency shall be guided by those design
controls as well as the Design Standards promulgated by the City
of Boise Design Review Ordinance (Boise City Code section 11-2-
17) in approving all design plans. However, variations to those
design controls may be allowed pursuant to section 419.
No new improvement shall be constructed, and no existing
improvement shall be substantially modified, altered, repaired,
or rehabilitated except in accordance with this Plan and any such
controls and, in the case of property which is the subject of a
disposition and development or participation agreement with the
Agency and any other property, in the discretion of the Agency,
in accordance with architectural, landscape, and site plans sub-aitted
to and approved in writing by the Agency. One of the
objectives of this Plan is to create an attractive and pleasant
environment in the Project Area. Therefore, such plans shall
give consideration to good design, open space, and other
amenities to enhance the aesthetic quality of the Project Area.

Offices: 1.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross
leasable floor area; and
Motel/Hotel: 1.0 space per guest room.
•Gross leasable floor area" shall include all floor space avail-able
for use by an occupant, whether or not actually occupied,
including basement space and subterranean areas and balcony and
aezzanine areas, but excluding public common areas, parking
areas, truck loading docks, and other areas normally excluded
from the definition of "gross leasable floor area."
1. Parking shall not be permitted (except for pas-senger
loading and unloading purposes) between the curb lines and
the building lines in the Project Area.
2. All off-street parking facilities shall be provided
with clear and adequate access to a public street or alley. Such
access will not be less than twelve (12) feet in width at the
property line. Sufficient distance shall be provided between the
parking facility entrance and the nearest intersection to allow
for orderly and safe ingress and egress. The parking structures
shall be so designed to provide adequate reservoir space to take
care of peaks in arrival and departure rates.
3. Required net parking space width shall conform to
the standards of the City of Boise. Parking space depth and
aisle width shall be adequate, as determined by the Agency, to
provide safe and efficient parking and circulation within a
parking facility.
4. In the detailed design of off-street parking
facilities, consideration shall be given to contemplated modifi-cations
of public rights-of-way as described in this Plan.
These parking requirements and parking facility
standards stated above may be modified or waived subject to the
requirements of section 419 hereof. No modification, however,

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES, COSTS, AND TAX IMPACT
The objectives of the City of Boise in undertaking the urban
renewal project are as follows:
Urban renewal action is necessary in the Project Area (which
includes the Revenue Allocation Area) to combat problems of
physical blight and economic obsolescence.
The Project Area consists of approximately eighteen (18)
blocks within the Boise Central Business District. The Revenue
Allocation Area consists of approximately ten (10) blocks. Both
areas have a history of declining tax base, primarily attributed
to: deteriorating structures; inadequate and inconvenient park-ing;
and poorly maintained properties, abandoned railroad right-of-
way, and other deteriorating areas.
This environment contrasts sharply with the growing economic
and cultural strength of Boise City and the Ada County region for
which the Boise Central Business District serves as the commer-cial
and cultural center.
Hence, the Urban Renewal Plan for the Project Area is a
proposal for major clearance to provide land for innovative,
imaginative, and contemporary commercial facilities; to remove
impediments to land disposition and development; as well as to
achieve changes in land use. It is further designed to eliminate
unhealthy, unsanitary, or unsafe conditions, and otherwise
prevent the extension of blight and deterioration.
The streets to be vacated, or relocated, will create addi-tional
buildable area for retail, commercial, office, or public
use.
Air rights and subterranean rights may be disposed of for any
permitted use within the Project Area boundaries.
Less than fee acquisition may be utilized by the Boise
Redevelopment Agency when and if necessary to promote redevelop-ment
in accordance with the objectives of the Plan.
Temporary project improvements shall be provided to
facilitate adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
All existing alleys within the Project Area may be vacated to
permit development as well as encourage variety and flexibility
of design within the periphery blocks.
The Project Area is part of a larger Downtown Improvement
Area which the Boise City Council, pursuant to Resolution
No. 7995, found, inter alia, to contain a substantial number of
deteriorating buildings.
ATTACHMENT NO. 5 - 1
Reproduced from the Boise State University Library, Special Collections. MSS 250
A further objective of the Urban Renewal Plan is to acquire
and clear land to be used for other public facilities, including
a convention center and a courthouse facility. Off-street park-ing
and loading facilities will be developed to serve the new
commercial complex within the Project Area. Land use in the
Project Area will be modified to the extent that buildings
currently vacant and land now devoted to scattered surface
parking will be converted to commercial, public parking, and
public/semi-public uses.
In coordination with the State Historical Society and the
Boise City Historical Preservation Commission, consideration will
be given to the preservation of structures of historic and archi-tectural
value within, or the moving of said structures outside,
the Project Area boundaries.
Anticipated costs of the urban renewal project, revenue
sources, estimated revenue allocations, and the amount of
indebtedness required to complete the project are shown in
Attachment SA, Public Capital Improvements. Attachment SA
necessarily incorporates estimates and projections based on the
Agency's present knowledge and expectations. The Agency may
modify the presently anticipated urban renewal projects and use
of revenue allocation financing of the related project costs if
the Board of Directors of the Agency deems such modification
necessary or convenient to effectuate the general objectives of
the Plan. Any future modification will affect the estimate;
however, the maximum bonded indebtedness to be serviced by
revenue allocation proceeds will not exceed the $13,000,000
authorized by law. Construction during the project is antici-pated
to take place through 1993, and the project as a whole
(to accommodate debt service) will continue through year 2008.
Attachment SB, Estimated Time and Value of Private
Development in BRA Core, shows anticipated increases in tax
assessments through the development process.
Attachment SC, Revenue Allocation From Future Economic Growth
Act of 1987, demonstrates the expected impact of revenue alloca-tion
on the Revenue Allocation Area (Zone 1), the Project Area
(Zone 2), and a two-block periphery area (Zone 3). This attach-ment
also reflects the percentage of tax assessments (in essence,
the percentage of impact) allocated to each taxing district in
which the revenue allocation area is located.
The information contained in Attachments SA, SB, and SC
assumes certain projected actions. First, the Agency has
projected a bond term of twenty (20) years with the bonds issued
in 1988. The bond term will be finally determined by the market-ability
of the bonds. The bonds may, in fact, be issued over
several years. Under the provisions of the Act, the revenue
allocation may continue until the bond debt is satisfied.
Second, the total amount of bonded indebtedness and the amount
of revenue generated by revenue allocation is dependent upon the

extent and timing of private development. Attachment 58 projects
development from 1987 through 1993, with significant revenue
allocation beginning in 1994. Should all of the development take
place as projected, bonded indebtedness would be extinguished by
2008, with the possibility of earlier payoff, dependent upon
the bond sale documents and legal obligations therein. Should
private development take longer to materialize, or should the
private development be substantially less than projected, then
the amount of revenue generated will be substantially reduced and
bonds may continue for their full term. Under the projections
contained in Attachments SA, 58, and SC, the Agency anticipates
that the bonds could be fully paid (if consistent with the bond
documents) by the end of the year 2000.
